Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life and Labours of the Right Rev. William Tyrrell, D.D. First Bishop of Newcastle, New South Wales
These pages have been written at the request Of some who worked with the devoted Bishop of whom they speak, and of others who desired that some record should be preserved of one, who through an Episcopate of thirty-one years remained immovably at the distant post to which he had been called.
He gave himself so entirely to his own peculiar work, and so studiously avoided public notoriety, that few in England know his name. Yet all Churchmen should be interested in the workings of the Colonial Church and Englishmen should follow in heart those of their fellow-countrymen who have gone out from among them to make a home in the far-off regions of Greater Britain.
There is an especial interest in watching beginnings, in Observing how out Of a state of chaos order gradually appears how human civilisation and skill give form to brute matter, and mould the elements Of an infant nation how the Church of Christ comes on its blessed mission to leaven the worldly mass, to subdue the evil, and transform and elevate those who receive it.
